Odd - I saw a ton of lightning and we had torrential rain and high wind, but I never actually heard any of the thunder. I laid on the couch reading for about three hours with the cat sleeping in between my feet. Once we can get her to a place where she feels safe (usually glued to me) and she's out like a light.

It was the sound of the wind, not thunder, that frightened the cats - as well as the sound of stuff falling onto the roof. We had no thunder or lightning - only booming straight line winds and torrential rains. It got so bad that the 2 older cats actually shared a pillow for hours! [Usually the eldest cat pushes the younger one off]

Cold, hot, cold. Snow last weekend, outside in the yard at midnight in my shorts Wednesday night (daytime temps were near 70 F/21 C). There was a mix of snow and rain this morning. The current temp is 35 F/2 C, which is expected to dip to 23 F/-23 C by morning.
